AT THE WORLD’S FAIR.
A Waycross Man Loses His Wife and
Shoes at the Great Exposition.
Chicago, September 8th, 1893.
Our trip here was without event be
yond the fact that this deponent lost
his shoes yesterday morning. Don’t
th’ok it was while foraging for it was
We retired early and were minus
shoes the next morning, but in their
stead was a pair, long, worn and a full
sire larger than those missing.
Chicago is great and grand and not
the least part of her grandeur is by
any means the Fair.
Last evening, after our 6:30 dinner
we took in Midway Plaisance, and it
was a grand spectacle, beyond my power
to describe.
ThiB morning after an early breakfast
we started out, Mr. Reed and myself go
ing up town, the ladies to the Fair. On
separating we made a very definite ap
pointment to meet the ladies at a very
definite place, the Agricultural building;
neither of us had seen the building as
yet. I suppose they went and I know
that I did, and after hunting carefully
over about fifteen acres of moving hu
inanity in that building I came to the
conclusion that yerhape they did not
It is now 8 p. m., and I have not seen
Mrs. & yet, and from the scarcity of
good looking ladies here it may be that
I will not again.
So you see that I am prosperitively
much poorer than on yesterday morning,
having lost a pair of good shoes and a
wife too. I speak advisedly when I say
a that loses a good wife such as she
was is a poor man indeed; and now that
•he is lost I fully appreciate the loss.
Tell everybody who intends coming
here to leave their wives and shoes at
home if they want them; tell those who
are coining here to bring a hatchet along
to blaze their way if they ever expect to
find the way back.
You see, I would have been more care
ful about my wife but when I was up
town I derided everybody was up-town
and not going to the Fair to-day, hence
the risk, Jmt when I got out to the Fair
I soon found that they had all left town
for some purpose or other and gone to
the Fair. Must have been a holiday, I
reckon.
The party are all well.

How the “Small Boy” Gets Cigarettes.
Mr. Editor : With your permission I
will tell Mr. “Z.” how the eight and ten
year old boys get the filthy cigarettes.
One of those boys walks into a store,
throws his nickle on the show case and
calls for a package of cigarettes. The
clerk promptly tells him it is a violation
of the law to sell them to minors. “All
right,” the kid says, and he walks down
the street a few steps, hands his money
to a negro man and says : “Cap get me
Let Justice be Done.
Editors Herald : My attention has
been called to a short editorial in Satur
day’s issue of the Brunswick Times-
Advertiser, which does one of our best
citizens a gross injustice, and should be
corrected immediately, and the Bruns-:
wick editor should lose no time in
making the amend honorable. I refer
to the paragraph which is reproduced
below, and in the name of justice and
fair play I ask that you give this promi-
a package of cigarettes and I will give nence in y our columns
you one.” This man, nine times out of
ten does his bidding without a question.
There is no difficulty about the small
boy getting cigarettes. There are plenty
of white men as well as colored ones,
that buy these “coffin tacks” for boys.
Now I would ask Mr. “Z” for a remedy
to stop this cigarette smoking among the
boys. My suggestion is that home is the
proper place to stop the evil. Unfortun
ately, many of our boys know nothing
of home except to eat there and sleep
from about 11 p. m. ’till breakfast Oh,
for more boys that love home and mother
better than they do the streets.

The first oyster month is going in a
hurry. September will not be with us
long.
The city cemetery is in a very grassy
condition, and the authorities are most
earnestly urged to give it some attention.
What are the Methodist people going
to do with their old church? It has
been suggested that it be repaired and
used as a Sunday school and prayer
meeting room.
It would be well for some people to
study up a little on the Golden rule,
which teaches us to treat our fellow man
as we would like to be treated.
Robbie Wright, an old Waycross boy,
and the son of our fellow citizen Judge
W. A. Wright, is contributing some
readable matter to the Savannah • Press.
Mr. Wright will make his mark in jour
nalism yet.
Overseer Sweat has been working his
gang on Reed street to the gratification
of the citSzensin that part of the city.
It is said that Tom Brown that prince
of clever young men, made the best
speech at the reunion of the Baptist
church Sunday. Bra Brown is a faith
ful “soldier of the cross.” He is obe
dient to the Captain’s orders; he always
keeps step with his brethren, and at the
final roll call' he will not be wanting.
We need more men of that stamp.
The wreck* of the steamer Savan
nah has been given up as a total loss.
“A lying correspondent at Waycross,
a few days since, sent out a special re
lating a most attrocious occurence in
Coffee county, in which it was stated
with revolting particulars how a negro
brute had two white girls tied out in a
swamp. There wa§ so much suggestion
of faleshood in the story that it fell
short-ranged. It is now pronounced
wholly false. Such liars need tar and
feathers.” v
Now, the facts as I understand them
are these: This 6tory of the outrage re
ferred to above was sent out first by the
News’ correspondent at Douglas, the
county-site of Coffee, and on the day fol
lowing its appearance in the papers, re
sponsible men came to Waycross and
confirmed the report sent out from
Douglas, saying that blood-hounds were
upon the track of the vile brute who
held the poor girls captive in the swamp.
The people were stirred up and organ
ized searching parties; were scouring the
woods for the villain. The Waycross
correspondent gave the statement of
these men, naming them in the special
sent from here, as bringing the news,
and in no sense vouched for the corect-
ness of the story.
The efficient local correspondent of
the Savannah News, and other leading
journals, is well known in this city as a
high-toned Christian gentleman, whose
veracity no one can call in question.—
-His. friends protest against the bold
charge made in the above, by Mr.
Wrench, the heroic editor of the Bruns-
wich paper.
In justice to this correspondent I trust
you will give prominence to this article,
and that the Times-Advertiser will do
the gentlemanly, brotherly act, by seek
ing to right this matter, and repair the
wrong done.
Yours, for the right,
Justice.
Waycross, Sept 1893.
Refering to the above, the editor of
the Herald desires to say that he has
given the matter a thorough investiga
tion, and finds that no blame should be
attached to the Waycross correspondent
of the Savannah Morning News. The
facts as stated by “Justice” are correct
in eveiy particular. Any newspaper
man or correspondent, no matter how
careful, would doubtless have done the
same thing under similar circumstance?.

But for the assistance given Mr.
Wrench by the authorities, Brunswick
would have been without a paper during
the late troubles in that city. It takes
money to run a daily paper, but some
people seem to think otherwise. Sup
pose Editor Wrench had closed down
his paper and left the city when the
other business men did. What a howl
of indignation would have been raised
against him. There was no secret made
of the assistance tendered Mr. Wrench
by the city authorities and under the
circumstances there was nothing wrong
in him accepting it and using it. Mr.
Wrench stated repeatedly that his pa
trons were not paying him a dollar and
it was a matter of stopping the publica
tion of his paper or accepting assistance
from the only source that could afford it.
It will occur to the whole country that
the attempt to injure Mr. Wrench is
prompted by a spirit of personal animosi
ty-
The people of Brunswick owe Editor
Wrench a debt of gratitude which they
will scarcely be able to pay. They
should at any rate show that they ap
preciate his efforts in their behalf.
AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Worth is suffering but very little from
idle saw-mill and turpentine hands, as
is complained of in other sections. None
of the turpentine men have suspended
operation as yet, and only a tew of the
saw-mills have closed down.

If it is true as some people seem to
think, that Brunswick has had no yellow
fever, then some body has made a very
expensive mistake.
There are two Georgia politicians—

Chauncey M. Depew, who is a rich
man, advised everybody to go to the
World’s Fair—even if they had to bor
row the money.” A Texas preacher
takes Chauncey “on .the wing,” as it
were, and writes him, asking “the loan
of $200 for that purpose.” The post
prandial silver-tongued orator has not,
as far as known, replied to this modest
request He ought by all* means to
send his check to one who is so quick to
take his advice.—Columbus Enquirer.
The steamer, “City of Brunswick,” is
afloat again suffering little damage from
being aground on Cumberland, and the
real City of Brunswick is also in the
swim again, and is floating high on the
incoming tide of prosperity.
The Brunswick T. A. says: “Any fel
low that would leave Brunswick for
Savannah for health, ought to be quar
antined and fumigated for he would
probably need it”
The Brunswick Times says that Sa
vannah continues a semi-quarantine
against Brunswick. Savannah is evi
dently very much afraid and well she
maybe.
